is it me, or is being a bunch of mindless, drooning christians on a out-of-control, burning airplane perhaps a good thing? (assuming the 200,000 max allowed christians into heaven was only a local zoning ordinance in Isreal and really, everybody will get into heaven when all shit happens next year?)
sorry but for the first time since ive retired last year, im wondering really long and hard what the folk mother nature is up to...
Man, I really realy hope that does not do that bad expody thing again- I dont want to even consider the possible deathtoll.
Who do we have out there? Masao?
Fuuuuck. This is looking worse all the time- now reporting over nine thousand missing from one town.

So now both reactor 1 and reactor 3 at Fukushima I have blow their buildings due to ignition of hydrogen. The reactors themselves are still contained, however.

As someone that lives on the coastline, I cant wrap my mind around that.

Gah! Small wonder the USS Ronald Reagan was ordered to pull back from the coastline! I forsee a large uptick in cancers if the reactors keep spurting shit into the atmosphere...
Yes, bouncing back is gonna be pretty tough- they were already in the economic hole- 200% of GDP, I heard.
What makes the economic impact of all this worse is the total loss of at least those two nuclear reactors- the heroic and desperate decision to cool them with seawater means that they'll never be operational again. Someone on NPR was saying that might cost them as much 7% of their overall energy production, which means more inporting and more debt.

seriously, the radiation from the plants north of tokyo are raising the city's rad levels? o.O
looking these pics makes me wonder, could you even build dykes to protect inland structures? could the damage we see even been prevented or at least lessened?

I sorta doubt it- it's not just the oncoming water that does the damage but all the debris being washed inland from the coast.
Some lucky 70 year old woman stayed in her house and was rescued- search teams found her house (what was left of it) a mile inland. That's a crazy amount of directed energy.
What i wonder is if there were warning signs that may have been followed- we know there was a "pre-quake" of about a 4, but people assumed that was the whole thing. Maybe there's a way to determine the difference between an isolated event and the begining of something huge.
I also wonder of all the animals hot the hell out of dodge beforehand?

Damn near anything else goes, but once that threshold is crossed...the media will make an example. Yes...this mmight just be it- that indefinable something for the press (and their viewers) to fixate on instead of the horror of the situation.
